Who will serve
the home
computer
market in the
coming years ?

Yun dmi't need to be a psychic i" know what's on Commodore'smind these days. Every signal thai comes oui of the Pennsylvaniaheadquarters shouts, "The future is the Amiga!"
The company, under the direction or its new president, Harold
Copperman, has embarked upon an aggressive strategy to position
the Amiga competitively against the Apple and IBM in the business,
education and vertical markets.
Unfortunately, this energy direcied towards the high-end market
is unmatched in the home computer arena, which
was once dominated by Commodore. Commodore's
attempted turnaround is apparently headed in thewrong direction. Instead of trying to serenade the
federal government and big business. Commodore
should be attempting to shore up its badly battered
image among [he home computing crowd.
The Commodore name, once synonymous with
price ;md performance, is now better known for
lack of support, management upheavals, droopingsales and lethargy, Despite all of this, the king ofthe 8-bltS is slill the C-64, which has introduced
millions to the world of computing. It may be long
in the tooth, but it remains the only viable mass-
markii computer. For under S500, you can gel a
complete system—computer, monitor, disk drive and joystick.
Commodore h.is stated, and RUN has duly reported, that the
company "will actively pursue new sales and merchandising strate
gies for the. . .C-64," but we see little evidence of this. If Commodore is to keep the respect of its large user base, it should either
aggressively support its existing 8-bit line or offer an alternative.
Our sources indicate that there is waning enthusiasm at Commo
dore for the C-65 project, which Commodore has been working on
ibis year to replace the (S'l/128 line. With its enhanced color, graph
ics and sound, built-in disk drive and increased speed, this new 8-
bil computer would be the answer that millions of home compuier-
ists are looking liir. Best of all, it would be compatible with most
existing C-64 software. And at a low price!
However. Commodore, reacting lo the bad press [his machine-
has received and reluctant to be associated with the low-end mar
ket, apparently is lukewarm toward this product.
Commodore's other alternative is lo reduce the price of the
Amiga 500, which, at over $800 for computer and nioniior, does
not meel the price criterion of the home marketAs we enter a new decade, 1 urge Commodore to reconsider its
altitude toward the low-end market. It seems folly to abandon a
market it has dominated during the last decade in Favor of one
that's full of uncertainties.
Here's hoping that the new year brings RUN readers happiness,
prosperity and glitch-free computing. And here's hoping thai Com-
modore re-addresses the needs of the home computer market. The
company owes it to the millions of first-time computer buyers and
loyal Commodore computerista.

S56B Verifying with RUN Script
Here's an almost foolproofmethod ofdetermining ifyou're
working with the latest version of a document treated with
RUN Script 64 or 128. Load in one file of the document,
and then press Fl, followed by the !■" key, to display the
number of bytes free in the command bar a( the top of thescreen. Then load in the other version of the document and
repeat die process. Compare the number nf bytes free. If
they match, the chances are good thai the documents are
identical. If you remember adding text to the first version
of the document, the iatest version will show fewer bytes free.
If, on the other hand, you deleted text, (lie version with
more bytes free will be the latest.

S5GC Illegal C-128 Trapping Season
You can use the unimplemented Off and Quit commands
in Basic 7.0 to develop programming subroutines similar to
those found in Amiga, Apple Macintosh and other 68000-series computers, I've written a short routine thai shows how
lo u.se Trap, the unimplemeuted Offcommand and ilie Err$
function to execute a perfectly functioning subroutine, all
without the use of a single Goto or GoSub! Give it a try, it
works remarkably well.

S5BD Curing Non-Random RNDNumbers
Even novice programmers quickly realize lhat the C-64's
RNU Function does not return a series of truly random num
bers. C4 Non-Random RNO uses the random number gen
erator of voice 3 of the S1I) sound chip to enhance the RND
function. Run my program in conjunction with any program
that uses RND and the result is truly random numbers.
For reference purposes, note lhat run-stop/restore docs not
deactivate my Utility. Also, voice 3 will not function properlywhen 64 Non-Random RND is activated.

By HAROLD R. BJORNSEN
RUNning Comments on the
WORLD OF Commodore Show
VALLEY FORCE, PA—Commodore
Business Machines held its World of
Commodore show last September 22-24, and RUN solicited comments from
some of iis authors who intended llie
show. Here's what they said.
Michael Cavanaugh—Two images
stood out in this reviewer's mind: "One
is of a gentleman who complained that
he had gone to every booth in the show
in an attempt to buy a 128 or 128D,
Imi was unable to find one. Another is
of Commodore showing off their MS-
DOS-based Colt machines, with no one
a[ the show carrying any MS-DOS-com
patible software."
The Creative Micro Designs booth
was the saving grace for Cavanaugh.
Curiosity there centered on the proto
types ofa Commodore-compatible hard
drive (available with either 20- or 40-
megabyte storage capacity for under
$600) and a power-backed interface for
C-64/128 REUs, called RAM Link Said
Cavanaugh. "While CMD is best known
for its jiffyDOS disk drive enhance
ments, the implications ofthis new hard
ware are exciting enough that, lor me,
the CMD booth alone was worth the ten
dollar admission price."
Loren Lovhaug—Fur this writer, the
"excitement generated at the World of
Commodore show was on die 8-bit
side." Although there were "fewer de
velopers for the show on the whole"
than in the past, this year a "larger
percentage" were C-64/128-dedicaled
developers.
Besides [he CMD products men
tioned above, Lovhaug fell that the in
troduction of Brown Boxes' (26
Concord Rd.. Bedford, MA 01730)
QBB-B ($119 plus $3 s/li) was signifi
cant for Commodore 8-bit fans. The
G4K battery-backed cartridge lets own
ers of the 64K Quick Brown Box up
grade to I28K, and it keeps data intact
even after the computer is turned off.
The QBB-B is identical in size to the
QBB and is designed to run on an ex
tender card.
Lou Wallace—RUN's contributing
editor deemed a few yet-to-be-released
8-bit software programs high on his list
of "hot" products. He mentioned Rick
Kane's 80-column color interlace pro
gram (written in Basic 8), Bill Coleman's
C-128 graphic interface terminal pro
gram for GEnie, and Tom Brown's 128
desktop publishing package.
RUN reporters also noted other soft
ware/hardware manufacturers andproponents of the Commodore 8-bit
line. Representatives from Abacus, Xe-
tec, Berkeley Softworks, Busy Bee and
Q-Link were busy displayingand selling
products.
Last, but not least. Commodore's
presence was enhanced by a large booth
(featuring mosdy Amigas and PCs) and
the appearance of Lloyd Mahaffey
(marketing vice president) and Howard
Diamond (education director).
One thing's certain—this World of
Commodore show illustrated G4 and
128 support at the "grass roots" level!

An Undocumented
Phenomenon
I seem lo have run across an undoc
umented Commodore phenomenon.
I'br the last month or so, I've advertisedheavily in four different area publica
tions for a used C-128 system. In light
of*Commodore's recent customer sup
port move of discontinuing this system,
I need one for a backup. The problem
is thai I have had absolutely no re
sponse [0 my ad. I know for a facj thai,
locally. Sears sold hundreds of CM28s
and 128Ds, and, according to a sales
person, stopped earning them only be
cause of Commodore's infamous latk
of supportAround here at least, folks just aren't
willing tO part with their "poor, old.
mostly useless"' C-128s. What do you
make of this?

Thank You, Commodore!
I've been passively watching a ion of
verbiage flow regarding what a "nasty"
company Commodore is for not doing
more for its customers.
Like many RUN readers, I've been
using Commodore computers for a
long time, and I've followed the Com
modore-specific magazines such as
HUN since the early days. I have always
It'll thai the enjoyment my computers
hroughi me was an absolute bargain,
considering the competition's prices.
Commodore taught me that therewas a fantastic world ofcomputing wait
ing to be explored, and as 1 expanded
my knowledge of how computers op
erated. Commodore was always therewith the next generation of computer
to permit me to step up and accomplish
even more. There's plenty available in
productivity and entertainment soft
ware, and most of our differing needs
and desires can be attended to.
I recently had the opportunity to
change over to an IBM system. 1 spent
a great deal of time comparing what
IBM would do for me that a 128D could
not. I asked myself over and over what
I wanted to achieve with any computer
system, and Commodore's 128D filled
the hill each time.
Thank you, Commodore, lor pro
ducing inexpensive and highly effective
computer systems for the average con
sumer. I understand that the profit mo
tive is the driving force behind any
Company's thrust into a market, and it's
this motive that has greatly bcnefined
the customer.

Educational Support
As an elementary school teacher, I
get a little angry every time I read letters
such as the one from Dorothy Hemme
(see "A Lone Star For Commodore,"
Mail RUN, July 1989), who says there's
no educational support from Commo
dore. While this may be true of Com
modore itself, there is plenty of
educational software for the C-fi4. My
problem isn't a dearth of software; il's
getting enough money budgeted for the
software our school needs.
I'm totally sold on the C-64 for our
students. We've had no repairs, no
problems and no additional expenses.
I don't see who can ask for anything
mole than the quality, versatility and
economy ofCommodore computers.

Fire King A-
Good Guy's Mission:
Exterminate tke Big, Bad. Beast
Fire King is one ofthe most enjoyableC-04 rale-playing k;|I11<-"s I've seen in along time. There's nothing essentially
different about the story, Inn it's so well
programmed that it's just a pleasure
to play.
For as long as anyone can remember,
i lie harmony oflilt: hind has been main
tained by the Four Mages of the elements: Air, Fire, Water and Earth. TheFire Mage, who is king, is suddenly
lulled by a magical beasi. The Air Mage,
who returned to lell the tale, is seri
ously wounded, the Water Mage can't
be found, and ihe Earth Mage has gone
insane.
The evil beast was also killed, but
another one inhabits the catacombs,
;iuci from time to time comes to the
surface to snack on the townsfolk. The
Mayor has already seni one brave ad
venturer to slay the creature. On the
assumption he has also become lunch

When you're ready, you can head to

has its own perils. There are trainingrooms behind the Thieves Guild where

Many problems; should be

more delights to those who love to "fol
low the bouncing ball."
As in the original, the selling of'Ar-
kanoid 11 is outer space, and the on
screen bar you control represents an in
terplanetary CTitfl that deflects energy
spheres. Each ofthe sequel's Ii7 levels—
4-1 more than in the first program—has
a unique pattern of blocks. Some are
indestructible, and some continually ap
pear and disappear, while others disin
tegrate after a ball hits them one or more
limes. You conquer a level when all of
the third type Olbricks are eliminated.You start with (bur spheres and tan
obtain more. Throughout the game,malevolent aliens wander about and tli-
ven spheres from their paths. The more
time that is spent on a level, the faster
the ball travels and the harder it is lo
hit. The game ends when the last ball
slip-, past the bar.
Arkanoid II oilers three control op
tions: keyboard, joystick and mouse.
The latter deviceis especially well suited
lor the precise horizontal movements
that this game requires.
When certain bricks disappear, a la
beled capsule is released. If the bar
catches it, you temporarily receive one
of H different "powers," twite as many
as in the first game. Among these pow
ers are the creation of a second bar and
MEGA energy halls that slice through
every kind of brick. The necessity of
learning how to effectively use the cap
sules adds a hit oi mental challenge to
the contest.
Arkanoid [I's graphics and animationare exceptionally well done, and eachpattern ofbriiks is colorful and sharply
defined. The sound effects are also
excellent.
However, the software could've been
improved in one minor respect. Taito
should have indicated more clearly on
the box that the C-64 version ofthe gamedoes not include a construction set.
Also, potential purchasers should re
alize that the program is very demand
ing. For example, it takes a great deal
of skill to precisely guide a ball to the
last few target bricks that end up re
maining on each level. In addition, the

Spider-Man and
Captain America in
Dr. Dooms Revenge B
Here They Are,
To Save the Day!
The line between comics and com
puter games grows thinner every day—
everything from straight licensing deals
to interactive comics to games that have
comic bonk instructions. 1 here are even
computer games thai have crossed theline the other way to become comic
books. Still, Dr. Doom's Revenge bus
taken a new twist with this genre.
Combining the look of a comic book
will) the feel of an arcade game, Dr.
Doom's Revenge noi only packs a (Mar
vel-produced) comic book inside, but
actually has a plnl thai advances via onscreen panels. The story revolves
around the evil Dr. Doom, ruler of the
kingdom Latvcria, who has decided to
once again make his bid for world power
(through the use of his stolen intercontinental ballistic missile). It's up to Spi
der-Man and Captain America to stop
him, which won'tbe an easy taskbecause
Doom has assembled ten ofthe toughest
villains in the world to augment bis al
ready formidable army of robot guards.
You advance through the strip por
tion of the adventure, moving from
panel lo panel at your own pace, by
manipulating a pointer. When an ai lion
scene occurs, the pointer stops, and you
shift to the arcade phase. You assume
the personas, first of "Spidey," then of
"Cap," as they sling web and shield at
their various attackers.
The software features a Save function
that lets you pit! up from wherever you
left oti'in a previous game. My advice is
lo execute Ibis option prior lo every bat

yes, even some who are physically much
Stronger than our heroes. It's importantto remember that Cap is a superb athlete
in lop physical shape, while Spidey is
i|uiie strong, very nimble and can cling
to walls. As offensive weapons, Cap has
his shield and Spidey his webbing.
And, getting through Doom's castle
is really only half the battle, as you still
have noi only to go up against Doom
himself, but to disarm his missile as well.

Harrier 7 C +
Good Luck, Pilot,
You're Going To Need It!
Just when you thought it was safe to
gel back into the cockpit, along comes
Harrier 7, a flight simulation/tomba!
program. Harder 7 is not a "you-are-
theie," first-person type of game;
rather, the action is viewed from the
sidelines. From a mechanical point of
view, control—via joystick and a hand
ful (if keys—is extremely easy.
You begin with three Harrier aircraft.
Here's V""1" "lew of the battle araa and
control panol in Harrier 7.
Your mission is to jet across enemy ter
ritory and destroy their missile silos,
heavily fortified bases and Ml(! aircraft.
It'll take practice, daring and lots ol
luck before you can emerge the victor.
From the moment you gently lift off
the aircraft carrier, you are besieged by
enemy anti-aircraft shells. Kxocet mis
siles and determined MIGs. Before you
can defend yourself against these nas
ties, you have to learn to control your
overly sensitive aircraft. Until you be
come adept at joystick maneuvers, you
find your actions lend to over-exagger
ate the aircraft's performance—usually
resulting in "pilot-induced incidental
lerra firiua osculation" (i.e., you trash).
The graphics screen is a split view. It
consists of the window to die battle areaand a stark control panel (hat displays
simplistic radar information, fuel
gauge, weapon selection and score area.
As your aircraft travels either left or
right, the graphics scroll smoothly with
it, over sea and land. Although they may
noi win any awards, the graphics are
handsome and well suited to this type
of game.
While the action is certainly fast and
furious, ii's almost impossible 10 defend
yourself from all the hazards lllis pro
gram offers. In a short period of lime,
the screen becomes very busy, and you
may have initial difficulty in identifying
your targets. Especially harrowing arc
MIG dogfights, where enemy aircraft
seem to pop out of nowhere. Since the
MIGs don'l stav in Four field of vision
long enough for you to get off a clean
shot, it becomes a simple matter of per
sistence and luck.
Documentation comes in the form of
a single cardboard insert, whk h is just
as welt—you need little in the way of
instructions once you load Harrier 7.
More games should have the same kind
of "boot and go" environment.
I slowly came to the conclusion that
any criticism I aim at this software
evolves from its lack of depth and stay
ingpowerwhencompared to the bigger
titles, which is unfair. If you're expect
ing beautifully detailed graphics, mul
tiple playing levels and digitized
explosions, look elsewhere. If, on the
other hand, you're ready to hand over
15 dollars for an evening or two of
entertainment (the price of two movietickets and a large bucket ol popcorn
where I live), then give Harrier 7 a tesl
flight. (Availing?; distributed try Accolade,

Apache Strike C
An Above-Street Level
Battle Against Time and
Terrorists
It's 1997, and back in the USSR, rebel
militarists haveseized many ofthe coun
try's cities. Even worse, the escalating
conflict threatens to trigger nuclear conflict with other major powers. The gov
ernment has no effective force ofits own;
however, it does have one crazy volun
teer piloting a hatile-scarred AH-64
Apache helicopter. Once again, you are
the "only game in town," and I he Stakesare peace or nuclear destruction!
In 40 seek-and-destroy missions,
Apache Strike pits you against progres
sively tougher opposition. Your pri
mary objective in each tour of duty is
to knock out the city's Strategic Defense
Computers (SDCs). thus causing local
rebel Forces to collapse; your primary
problem is dealing with swarms of en
emy helicopters,
Granted, your AH-(>4 Apache is not

exactly a "sitting duck." Rapid-fire can
nons rip apart enemy choppers and
tanks as if they were ripe melons, and
just three well-placed missiles wipe out
an SDC, High-tech instrumentation
complements the speed, altitude and
fuel indicators. To the right of your
bulletproof windshield, radar locates
enemy craft in the immediate vicinity.
Distance to an SDC (in city blocks) and
bearing are continuously updated.
Other aids include a count of remain
ing enemy aircraft and a 14-charatter
scrolling message center that supplies
warnings and status reports.
Like "old time" flight simulator pack
ages, Apache Strike's forward view
trades away detail for speed and per
spective. Thus, while each city is merely
a grid of soaring square columns, and
enemy craft are barely recognizable,
you do get something approaching the
Look of real-time (light in three dimensions. The game achieves the right
"feel" through responsive controls and
fast/slow/hover speed settings that sup
ply ample maneuverability.
Flying the AH-64 is fun, but fighting
with it exposes severe weaknesses. Since
you lack any targeting aids (e.g., cross
hairs), aiming your shots is largely a
matter of pointing in the general di
rection of an enemy craft. In the heat
of combat, you should be able to reiy
upon what you see. Vet, given poor
vertical perspective rendition, the bar
graph altimeter is your only indicator
of distance from street level. Surprise
crashes are a major hazard. I

Gauntlet II C-
A Rerun Through
Dungeons and Mazes
Gauntlet II, an arcade dungcon-
gatne sequel, offers the usual maze-run
ning fare for one or two players.
You must choose to play as one of
four characters: Merlin, Thor, Thyra or
Queslor. Each hero is different from the
others in regard to overall prowess,
which is broken down into shooting
ability, magical powers, physical dex-
lerity and armor protection.
Your joystick makes your on-screen
figure move in any direction. Pressing
the joystick button causes your char
acter to shoot bullets, or in the case of
Questor, arrows. Contact with certain
enemies also destroys them.
A potpourri of hobgoblins—ghosts,
demons and sorcerers, to name a few-
proliferate out of monster generators,
so it's best to smash these spawning nests
pronto! Each type of creature poses a
different threat. Most of them wear you
down by constantly bumping into you
or throwing objects at your body.
You tan explore over 100 different
mazes in this game and accomplish the
usual dungeon-related lasks—finding
secret amulets, imbibing magical po
tions, picking up keys, teleporting
around, and so on. OF course, certain
items confer upon you different gains,
from increased vigor to temporary in
visibility. A key, for example, might let
you open a treasure chest and earn
extra game points. Drinking health po
tions or eating food prolong your phys
ical well-being, which is listed as pointson the screen. Enemy battering, along
wild lime, erode this score.
I could go on, but you might get the
wrong impression, since a description
ofGauntJet II's general features reads
better than actually playing the game.
My complaints: The computer shows
a profile image of your figure gliding
in mid-air like a shadow over the
ground, creating a point of view that's
impossible, perspective-wise; the
game's terrain is flat and featureless;
your screen's overhead view reveals an
imated graphics too liny to appreciate;
and the basic routine follows the same
old formula. It's like watching a tele
vision rerun.
While it may be a good entry-level
game for beginners, Gauntlet II is one
gauntlet you'll probably want to lay
down rather than run. (Mindscape, Inc.,

In Search ofCreativity Software
i ast month, garbed in pith helmets and wielding ma-
I chetes, we hacked our way into the jungle oFCom-
I niodore software to search for programs that are> useful, not just entertaining. Amidst the tangle of
game titles, we discovered the Pyramid of Productivity, con
taining lots of programs both old and new. Now it's time to
don ourjungle garb again, to head oui in .search of creativity
software—programs that can help you express and enjoy
yourself in many ways. Are you ready?
Blazing a new trail is hard work, but eventually we spy an
opening labeled Cavern of Creativity in the side of a hill.
This is it! We duck our heads and step inside.
Graphics
Instantly, a palette of brilliant colors shimmers in our
torchlight. We gasp in astonishment ai the sparkling gems
before us—a wealth of wondrous graphic arts programs.
There is Rainbird's The Advanced OCP Art Studio, featuring
windows, icons and pull-down menus, which shines as one
of the finest color graphics programs for the C-64. And just
beyond is Doodle!, a C-B4 hi-res color drawing program
from Crystal Rose; withstanding the test of time, it has es
tablished a standard for graphics formats.
Nearby perch Inkwell's Flexidraw, a hi-res drawing pack
age for use with that company's lightpen, and Sketchpad
128, from Free Spirit, supporting 80-Column mode. Then
we catch sight ofSpectrum 128, also from Free Spirit, a paint
program for the 128D or 128 with 64K video RAM upgrade,
and Basic 8, a graphics programming environment for the
128 with 80-coiumn display.
The walis seem more geometric in form as we enter the
computer-aided-design (CAD) room. Here we find Abacus's
Cadpak, a bit-mapped program in C-64 and C-12S versions
that can swap pictures with other graphics programs. The
newer version supports input from the keyboard, 1351
mouse or lightpen, and it sports a dimensioning feature for
scaled output. We also marvel at the professional features of
Free Spirit's Home Designer Plus 128, a two-dimensional
CAD program with otiject-based graphics you can zoom in
on for heightened detail.
Suddenly, shadowy forms flap by overhead! We whirl
around to face Kira Corporation's Flexi-Aided Design and

ited, an in-depth package for creating professional quality
graphics, including wipes, dissolves ami other special efifeCB,
for video tilling and electronic greeting curds. »■
Near ihe end of the graphics corridor, a cryptic message
OB the wall instructs, "Descend for pleasure, self-improve-meni and enlightenment." We clamber down the rickety sicpsto the next level of the Cavern of Creativity.
How To Do It
At the bottom of the steps, we're lured by a taint rhythmic
lapping into a room full of typing programs. Low tables hold
The Software "Knitworks' Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing,
Simon & Schuster's Typing Tutor IV, Typel, from Broil-
erbund, Tempo Typing, from Radarsoft, and Scarborough's
Mastertype, all providing exercises and/or g.icnes that teach
ten-finger typing on the C-(>4. A quid corner nearby holdsFree Spirit's Easy Sign 64, a tool for learning and practicing
the sign language alphabet. The quiet is broken by an S.O.S.,
and we dash around the corner to rescue Free Spirit's Morse
Code Trainer, bu\ it's just practicing.
Since nothing is amiss, we move along to inspect a nook
floored wilh black-and-white tiles. There's a brain-exercising
software package poised on each tile, among them The Soft
ware Toolworks' Chessmaster 2100, Enlightenment's Paul
Whitehead Teaches Chess and Jerry Silman's Guide to
Chess Openings, as well as Cardinal Software's Cardinal
Chessmate, all providing instruction and practice in the
traditional strategy game. CBS's Charles Goren on Bridge,
Radarsoft's Bridgemaster ant! Bridge 5.0, from ArtWOrX,
rest on Other tiles.
Descending deeper into the cavern, we spot a bejeweled
chest off to one side, bursting with what may be ancestralscrolls. On closer inspection we find Genealogy Software's
Family Tree, a dynamic system for developing your own
family's genealogical table. Family Roots, from Quinsepi,
Arbor Aide, from Software Solutions, Bylcware's three-mod
ule Software for the Genealogist, and VitaStat, by Don
Marsh, are also stuffed in the coffer.
Listen! There's strange, haunting music coming from the
alcove across the way! Peeking inside, we discover Abacus's
Synthy music synthesizer software for the C-64, Mindscape's
Bank Street Music Writer and Electronic Arts' Instant Music.
After a pause to savor the sounds, we head into the next
room and encounter a marble podium supporting a leather-
bound book. It's a weighty tome, and the first page rec
ommends that we start by improving our language skills
with Timewoi ks' Evelyn Wood Dynamic Reader, Mind-
scape's Crossword Magic or Radarsolt's Crossword for the
C-64. In the same vein of self-improvement, we also find
R.S.V.P., from Blue Lion, which teaches proper etiquette ibr
business and social situations, and Remember!, from Britan-
nica, for studying and remembering facts, lists, sequences
and relationships.
Oh! What wa.s that smell? The aroma ofexotic spices draws
us into a bustling room where America Cooks is bubbling
under the direction of Concept Development Associates.Their series of Great Chefs is here also, as well as Free Spirit's
Recipe Filer and Merrill Ward's Celebrity Cookbook, fea
turing favorite recipes of popular figures such as Frank
Sinatra, Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope and Sophia Loren. For
those with less in mind, there's Scarborough's Original Bos
ton Computer Diet and The Model Diet, from Softsync, with
a calorie guide to determine yourIdeal weightand nutritionalrequirements.
Following a call from "beyond," we penetrate the depthsof the cavern, where a sense of mystery shrouds ESP Tester,
Fun Biorhythms and Tarot 128, all, appropriately enough,
from Free Spirit. But some mystery is dispelled by Merrill
Ward's The Dream Machine, which analyzes, interprets and
logs dreams, as well as Timothy Leary's Mind Mirror, from
Electronic Arts, and Mind Prober. from Human Edge, both
C-64 programs that reveal what makes people lick.
Our torches are dim now, but their waning glow illuminatesthree rather personal programs: Dr. Ruth's Computer Game
of Good Sex, from Avalon Hill, The Sexual Edge* from
Merrill Ward, and The Love Quest, from fntracorp. These
C-64 programs can help analyze your sexuality and rela
tionships and determine your compatibility with others.
The End of the Quest
As we ascend (o the exit, we reflect on our findsand acknowl
edge thai, although there are some impressive new products,
many of the best creativity programs (as well as last month's
productivity finds) for Commodores are classics. Reflecting fur
ther, we realize that, while most of the programs are designed
for the C-64. we did bag some 128-mode packages.

RUNbase 128Here's what you've been searching for! An easy-to-use
database for your record-keeping needs.
Q
By WILLIAM COLEMAN
While there are several good
databases available !<>]' tin'
C-128, they all offer more
options and complexity
than I ever need. So, I wrote RUNbase
128, a simple, easy-to-use dxiiaba.se for
the C-128 in 80-CoUimn mode. RUN
base can handle about '2000 records, so
it's great for everything from flexible
mailing lists to disk catalogs, inventories
or what have you.
Type in RUNbase from Listing 1, us
ing rt£.Ws Checksum prognim to check
for typing errors, men save a couple of
copies to disk. When you run the pro
gram, a Main menu with eight options
appears. Highlight your choice by using
the CUnOr-up and -down keys; then
press the return key. Following are de
scriptions of the Main menu options.
Create a Database generates a new
RUNbase 128 database. When the pro
gram asks how many fields you want,
enter a number from I to l(i. Then
you're asked for the name, si/e and type
of each field. Use the cursor-up and-down keys to scroll through the list of
field] and make your responses. RUN
base allows up to 47 characters in a field
and supports the following types:
• Text—unshifted and shifted alpha
numeric characters and symbols
• Uppercase—shifted characters only
• Numeric—numerals ()-'.) and . + —
• Logical—a single character only:
Y{es)/N(o), T(rue)/F(alse)
As you enter each field, the program
displays the total number ofcharacters in
the record so far (the maximum i.s 255).
Once you've entered all the Gelds, a
prompt tor a filename appears. At this
point, you can abort and return to theHow Many Fields prompt hy pressing
the up-arrow key. Enter a filename, and
the database is created on the disk; then
the program returns to the Main menu.
Open a Database in the Main menu
opens a previously defined RUNbase
database. When you're prompted lor
the filename, enter it completely, with
out wild cards such as *. Once the data
base i.s open, its name and record count
appear at the bottom of the Main menu.
If a database is currently open, it is
closed before the new one is opened.
Close Database closes the current
database and. updates 1 he index file (see
index Database and Search below} on
the disk.
Edit Database enables you to add to
or alter an open database. The lidit
submenu provides the following
choices; Edit Record. Add Record, Next
Record, Previous Record, Goto Record,
GotoTop, Goto Bottom, Search,Toggle
Delete and Exit. Most of these are self-
explanatory, but a few need some
comment.
First of all, when using Kdit Record
and Add Record, you use the cursor
keys to scroll through the fields. But if
you scroll up past the top field, the
operation aborts. The delete and insert
keys function normally,Second, tlte Toggle Delete option
marks and uninarks a record lor dele
tion. A deleted record won't appear in
reports (see Print Reports belnw), but
it isn't removed from the database un
less you use the Main menu Pack option
(below).
Finally, the Search option uses tiie
index fields (see Index Database below|to KBTCh through an indexed database.
If you don't have an index set up,
Search is inoperative.
View Database in the Main menu
opens a submenu with three options:
View Records, Statistics and Exit. Viewi

RUNBASE 128
Records lets you step through your rec
ords, one at a time. Statistics displays a
description of each Geld, the Dumber
of records in the database, and the
names of the index fields.
Pack Database in the Main menu re
moves all records from the database
that have been marked for deletion and
"packs" [he remaining records together
to fill the gaps. For large databases, this
process may require several minutes.
Index Database sets the index fields.
Kor viewing purposes, the database is
sorted alplianurnerically by these fields,
but with lowercase ^/receding uppercase.
Two fields—primary and secondary-
can lie active at one time, but, due to
space limitations, only 20 characters are
significant for sorting purposes, I lie lirsi
15 in the primary field and live in the
secondary. However, this should he ad
equate for most databases.
Import SEQ File reads a non-RUN-
base sequential lile from disk and adds
ii to the current database, one field at
a time. Fields in the sequential tile must
he separated by a carriage return, and
empty fields must consist of a single
space followed by a return. After using
Menu-driven RUNbass makes using a
database easier than over.
Import) you must re-index to update
the index file.
Export SEQ File is the reverse of
Import. It writes the current RUNbase
database to disk as a sequential lile. with
fields separated by a carriage return.
Print Reports displays a submenu
with Report, Dump and Exit options.
The Report option generates custom
ized reports of the database conienis.
When yon select this, the program asks
for the page width—llie width ol the
printed pari of the report—and the left
margin. The total report width is the
page width plus ihe lefi margin. Then it
asks for a report title, which is printed at
the top of each page. Next it presents a
list of all the fields in the database. Select
the ones you want to print, and they are
added to the list on the screen. If there
isn't enough room on the page for a field,
selecting it won't work. Choose Done to
start printing the report.
The Dump option lists all the fields
for each record to the screen or printer,
regardless of the total report width.
The Disk Drive Stuff submenu of
fers Directory, Change Drive and F.xit
options.
Back lo Basic stops RUNbase and
returns you to the Basic operating sys
tem. If the current database has been
modified, the lile is updated before the
program quits.
That's all there is to it. Short and
sweet. . .and handy! [E

Money ManagerThis personal finance program does everything but make
the money, write the checks and pay the bills.
Monty Manager contains
many advanced optionsthat are not normally
found in programs of this
type, li maintains and balances ;i checkbook, records payments by category
and generates reports summarizing
momh-ir.-date, year-to-date and aver
age monthly payments.
The EZ Budgei part of the program
provides a simple Inn effective way to
prepare monthly and yearly timtm ial
plans by comparing estimated expenses
with anticipated income and then mak
ing adjustments. Later it compares ac
tual income and expenses with the
budget. Money Manager is easy to use,
with menus and on-screen prompts, as
well as I k-lp messages that arc available
throughout.
Category Codes
'Hie first time you run Money Man

Money Manager provides.
codes that yon can use or replace with
your own (see Table 1). They are easy
to remember, since each one consists of
the first three letters of [he category it
designates.
The program accepts codes up to
four characters long, so you can add
characters io mine to further identify
categories or lo identify tax-deductible
payments. Codes you may not need can
just remain, and you can later replace
them with others by using the new code
in a transaction and by following the
on-screen prompts for replacing un
used codes. You don't have to worry—
the pi ogram does not print any unused
lodes in reports.
You can edit codes when you're first
setting up the program and at the be
ginning of a year, but once you start
entering transactions, all you can do is
replace unused codes with new ones.
The four xxx blanks are supplied spe
cifically for this purpose.
Program Options
After you've established the category
codes, the main menu appears, offering
seven options: Add Transactions, View/
Change Transactions, Print Check Reg
ister, Payment Analysis, KZ Budget,
New Month and Quit.
Select the Add Transactions option
to enter your checkbook activities,
doing sit in the order that they appear
in your checkbook. As you enter each
transaction, your new balance appears
on the screen, and data is accumulated
in preparation for monthly and year-
to-dale reports,
A minimal number of keyboard en
tries are needed for each checkbook
transaction, since Money Manager au
tomatically repeats the date until you
actually change it, and it enters the
month and year in new dates. It also
skips the Deposit field when a payment
is entered, and check numbers are in
cremented by one, so you don't have
to enter the (heck number unless it's
out of consecutive order.
You can review and make changes in
transactions quickly by pressing the I*
key for the previous transaction or the
N key for the next, or you can do it
through the View/Change Transaction
option in the main menu.
Money Manager makes it easy to split
one check payment among two or more
categories. Whenever you have such a
case, just enter the amount to he
charged to the fust code and then type
S, for split, at the Help prompt. The
check number, date and description are
automatically placed in the next trans
action, so that you have to enter only
the amount tiir the category code.
You'll find this option particularly
useful when you write checks for cash.
You should be sure to keep either re
ceipts or memos about your cash ex
penditures; then, at the end of tlie
month, enter the total as a negativepayment in the cash category, using a
description such as "distribution of
cash" and blanking out the check num
ber. Then enter the amount for each

technique iThe Print Check Register and Pay
ment Analysis options print a list of
checkbook transactions tor ihe month
to date. They will also print out a report
listing your month-to-date, year-to-date
and average monthly payments accord
ing to category.
For a complete listing of a month's
activity, select the Check Register iind
Payment Analysis options after the last
checkbook transaction has been en
tered for the month.
The New Month option is handy iiir
switching months without restarting the
program. Transactions are stored on
disk by month, so an earlier month's
activity can he recalled quickly for view
ing or printing reports. Any correction
to an earlier Me must also be entered
as a transaction in the current month.
so your checkbouk balance and year-to-
datc totals are properly updated
EZ Budget
The menu for the budget portion of
Money Manager offers you six options:
Prepare Budget, Revise Budget,
Budget Analysis, New Month, Return
to Main Menu and QuiL With the Pre
pare Budget option, you can establish
budgets tor as many months ofthe year
as you wish, and then later update them
using Revise Budget.
When you select any one of these
options, the category codes you have in
Money Manager will be listed on the
screen, along with instructions that will
enable you to enter or change the bud
geted amounls.
You must also enter your estimated
income (anticipated deposits to your
checking account) for the month, to be
compared to your estimated expenses.
If the results of the comparison don't
please you, you can make budget
changes and immediately see the effects.
Change the budget as much as you
want until ii's balanced and liesi meets
your financial needs. If you go on to
prepare a budget for another month,
you can start from the one you've al
ready ( rested, so you have to filter only
the amounts that differ.
The Budget Analysis option prepares
monthly and year-to-date reports that
compare your actual income and ex
penditures to your budget.
These reports will help you detect
adverse spending trends and provide
information for future tinamia) plan
ning and budget revision. Ifi)

128 ModeNow you can add point-and-click control
to your C-128 programs.
By MARK JORDAN
BERKELEY SOFTWORKS, WITHGEOS, w;is the first to implement ihedesktop metaphor for the C-64/128
family. The key hardware component
thai made this possible was ilic mouse,
which lei you move in an immediateone-to-one relationship with the screen.
Unfortunately, with the exception ofGEOS, RUN Paint and Basic 8, little
software for Commodore computers
has come along that makes use of the
point-and-click phenomenon. That's a
great pity because, with the C-l2H's ex
cellent Basic and the VIC chip's admi
rable spriic poweFi buttons are easy to
do. And what arc buttons? They're sim
ply predefined areas of the screen thai
are poiui-and-di( kable. Sometimes
they're visible; sometimes they're not.The little40-column program in List
ing 1 shows how easily buttons can be
added to any C-128 program. .4s ii
stands, the program merely demon
strates the buttons concept within the
C-128 sphere, lint with a little study of
iis principles, you can get started but
toning up your own programs, large
and small.
In general, (he program works as fol
lows. Sprite 1 is defined as the pointer
sprite, matching the interrupt mouse
driver I hat conies with the 1351 mouse.
(He sine you have that driver on the disk
[hat's in the drive when you run this
program.) Sprites 2-7 are the movable
buttons. Sprite 8 is the home button.
The program first lets you place the
buttons wherever they feel right, an im
portant design concept in the desktop
metaphor. With that done, you can
point to any bulton and gel it to exe
cute. In (his program, that means the
computer tells you which button you
pressed—no big deal until you put ii lo
work {the remarks in the listing (ell
how). The honu: button just takes you
back to the beginning.
Obviously, the primary purpose of
this program is (o press some buttons
in your creative mind. ■
Mark Jordan, whose vocation is teaching
high school English, ha\ been programming
Commodore computers for many years.

Cold MineGrab every capsule in Arkanoid; make your caveman yell at your opponent in
Caveman Ugh-Lympics; plus other tips to improve your gaming skills.
By LOUIS F. SANDER
FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS, Cold
Mine's gaming tips have been one of
the most popular features in Commodore
Magazine. Now that it's joined RUN,
even more readers can gather nuggets
from the Mint.
For those new to the column, Gold
Mine has tips on game play for theC-fi4 and C-128, submitted by readers
from around the world. It emphasizes
tips from recent bestseDiog games with
out overlooking past lavorites.
While we try to ensure that all of the
tips will work as published) you shouldbe advised that Some lips work only on
certain (>4 or 128 configurations.
4x4 Off-Road Racing: The best
truck for long-distance races is the Ka-
tana with the spare fuel tank. Hitting
the large boulders right before a river
or mud bog will fling you across witlimtl
any loss of speed.

KIT: When drawing black characters,
it helps to draw them Brat in something
bright, then to change it to black when
the character is finished,
—Chad SchroederSTRATHAM, Nil
ARKANOID: Other than the "D" cap
sule, you should grab every capsule thai
appears on the screen. Each one contributes significantly toward an extra lire.
Hut watch out if the "D" capsule ap
pears. Because it accelerates the ball
segments formed, you're likely to lose
all lliree very quickly. Graf) "D" only if*
the ball is moving very slowly, or if you
have room to handle the extra speed.
[fyou do get the "D" capsule, no newbonus capsules will appear until two of
the ball segments are lost. Because each
capsule is worth 1,000 points, you
might want to lei two hall segments
escape immediately.

BARD'S TALE III; Instead of wasting
valuable spellpoints in healing your
party, press P for party. Everyone but
your Bard will defend. The Bard will
play "Bringarouud Ballad." The next
time, do the same tiling, but have every
one in your party defend. Keep it up
until everyone is healed.
If you can't figure out what an item
is, pass it around to other players in
your party. Try to see which players can
equip it.

BUBBLE BOBBLE: Use the ice cream
cones on your enemies, and they'll turn
into 10,000-poini diamonds.
On levels 1 and (>, blow as many bub
bles as you can before killing the last
opponent. You'll end up with lots of
fruit.
The red lamp gives you points for
moving and jumping, and the yellow
lamp gives you more firing power. The
blue cross turns your enemies into dia
monds, while the brown cross lets you
breathe fire.

Caveman Ugh-Lympics: In the
clubbing event, you can make your
caveman yell at your opponent. lust
press (he joystick button (as if you were
going to play the look-at-the-bii die
trick) when the meteor falls at the lower
left of the screen. When the caveman
yeils, you get to see your opponent go
flying.

Curse of the Azure Bonds: An
ideal party consists of two fighters, a
paladin, a cleric, a magic-user and ei
ther a thief or a fighter/thief.
When you first start out, make sure
you follow the hints on the reference
card. If you spend your money care
fully, you should he able to afford plate-
inail armor for a few of your characters.
Remember not to visit Filani the Sage
before you have bought everything you
need. She takes half your gold as pay
ment for her services.
When you attack the king's carriage,
surrender at the first opportunity,
You'll avoid unnecessary battles.
Once you've found the treasure room
in the thieves' guild (don't enter the
sewers until you've found it), rest and
memorize spells. If you find armor that
you think may be magic, try it on and
watch your armor class. If it goes down,
then you either have better armor or
magical armor.
When travelling to and from the
standing stones, go by the wilderness
routes. Fire Knives and Red i'lumes
patrol the roads.
In the village of Hap, kill some of the
dark elf patrols, lake their weapons
and armor. Dark elf chain mail is equal
to plate mail +1, and dark elf long
swords do more damage than regular
swords.
It's also necessary to kill some dark
elfpatrols to reduce the number ofelves
in the barn. The more patrols you elim
inate, the better your ihances of de
feating the F.freet.
When you are going down in Dra-
Candro'S tower, there is a dark elf lord
who is very hard to defeat. Cast spells
like Haste, Bless and Prayer to have a
chance of killing him. On the second
level down, there is a similar elf who
demands gold and magical items, I fe is
only an illusion. If you attack him, be
vanishes.
Search when you are near Dagger-
falls, and find a magic shop that sells
magic items and spells. There is another
shop in Zheutil Keep.

possible to go between two cars.

The Three Stooges; in the long
run, it's better to choose an odci-job
.square than a money square. Money
squares, though a guaranteed source of
income, don't pay as much as odd-job
Squares, especially at the beginning of
the game. Money is Important, because
you need to make a lot each day if you
waul to repair the orphanage and
marry Ma's daughters.

tin' first lloor.
On the mission to kill an evil Lvche.
you find out that the only way to do so
is to douse him with holy water. Holy
water can be purchased from Friar
Kaine of Ryder.
Sometimes, when further travel in a
dungeon or corridor seems impossible,
you can find a secret passageway. I'ush
on pressure plates or locale a lever in
the wall.
Among the possessions you accu
mulate in the game are the blue scroll,
which temporarily freezes character
movement, and the red scroll, which
kills all hostile creatures on the screen.
Keep a sharp lookout for the rinj; of
invisibility, the boots of speed, the scroll
of transportation, the magic axe, the
potion of blinking, ami the dagger.

Commodore ClinicLou leaves; Ellen rules. Commodore Clinic's new columnist
tackles readers' technical questions.
By ELLEN RULE
QJtfjl Sears SR-2000 printer connects
directly to the disk drive with u Com
modore serial cable, and the parallel cable
connector and switch make it Epsvn-com-
fmtible. Would I benefit from using the F.p-
son-compatible mode? And bow do I use the
parallel connector?
—Ai. SweeneyChicago, 11.
A Many new printer owners stan out
using Commodore Emulation
mode, since it's the easiest way to begin
using your printer's options. As you
giiin confidence with your computing
ability, you may want more control over
your printer options, and you may wish
to access the higher-resolution capabil
ities of the Epson mode (especially de
sirable for GEOS users).
In order for your Commodore com
puter to communicate with the Epson-
compatible side of your printer] you
need a Commodore-to-parallel printer
interface (available from your local
computer dealer or through the mail
order houses that are advertised in this
magazine).
I use Xetcc's Super Graphix interface
wiih my parallel primer, and I know
that many Commodore users are quite
satisfied with the MW-350 interface
from MicroWorid. The switches on
these units give you control over car
riage-return and line-feed options, de
vice number, and so on. An important
selling is the 1525-emu late/transparent
option, which lets you match the inter
lace to your software's output. Once
installed, the interface is "invisible" to
the user; in other words, forget it's there
until you need to control the options.
QI need a short machine language rou
tine that lacks the top line of the screen
in place. I'd like to print anything on the
top line, and it shouldn't flicker when the
screen is scrolling.
—GARRE1T MONTANEIXI
STOCKTON, CA
A I talked with QuantumLink's
QTutor BRO, (he head of Quan
tum Community College Computer
Science Department, who confirmed
that in order to accomplish ibis pro
gramming task, you need to utilize
interrupt-driven routines. Jim Butter-
field's Machine hmguage for the Commo
dore 6-f, 128 and Other Commodore
Computers (published by Premice-Hall)
discusses interrupts in Chapter 7 and
provides a sample exercise that displays
text on the top line of the screen. You
should be able to build on this exercise
to create (he code you describe.
If you need help with the material in
Butter-field's book, the QuanmmLink
Community College uses the book in
their machine language courses. You
can check on-line in the QCC General
Information Area or in the QCC Course
Catalog for more details about this and
other on-line courses.
QI own a 1350 mouse and the second
(right) button does not work. What
should I dot Also, I need a place to put my
machine language programs in conjunction
■with Basic. When I look in the memory maps,
it seem that all the memory is taken up except
hit-map, which I need for graphics, and an
"application program" area, which is too
small (SI300-S1HFF).
—Jeff Scruggs
Belleville, il
A You're not alone in being unable
to use the right-hand mouse but
ton, since, according to an article on
page 89 of the Twin Cities 128 Compen
dium Hook HI, only (he circuitry in the
left button of the 1350 mouse is prop
erly connected. The article, "Mouse
Modifications" by Avonelle Lovhaug,
describes how a qualified technician can
install an inexpensive resistor in the
mouse to activate the right button. A
briefcoding routine is included to dem
onstrate bow to read it. The Compendium
is a collection of articles from issues 1-
18 of Twin Cities 128—The Commodore
128 Journal (PC) Box 11578, Minne
apolis, MN 55411).
As for your machine language prob
lem, Han't tell you everything you need
to know in the space available here, but
there are several books that describe
the idiosyncracies of using machine lan
guage on the 128. Mosl Ml. program
mers I know seem proficient at tucking
bits of code here and there in the 128's
memory. SAM's Commodore 128 Assembly
language Programming, by Mark An
drews, describe! several locations inRAM that, depending on your pro
gram's requirements, may be free for
your use.
For example, in bankO, the Basic and
Kernal working storage is allocated
from SOBOO 10 $1BFF. Included in this
range are the Datassette buffer ($0B0(>-
SOBFF), the 512-byte RS-232 serial
buffer (JOC0O-S0DFF), and the sprite
definition area (S0E00-50FFF), as well
as the 2K segment (S1300-S1BFF) you
mentioned. Try splitting up your code
and putting il into areas not used by
your program.
Other locations may also be utilized,
such as the C-I'28's 40-column text dis
play area (S0400-S07FF), which can be
used for color-control information
when the 128 is in High Resolution
mode. Also, once you know how muchroom your Basic code and variable stor
age will consume, you can relocate tin-
top of Basic to gain even more space.
Bank switching between the 128's dif
ferent memory configurations is yet an
other technique used by programmers
to manipulate (he 128's memory. Try
experimenting with a combination ofthese techniques to find what works best
for you.
QI typed in your Checksum program
from the November issue. When I try
to run the program, the computer informs
me that I have an Out of Data error in line
30.1 proofed line 30from the listing several
times, and there are no errors in typing onm\ part. What could be the problem?

misleading. Line 30 contains the in-

RUN's Associate Editor, Harold
"buz/" Bjomscn managed to convince
formerTechnical ManagerLouWallaceto modify the Checksum program to
take rare ofthis problem. See page 51
for the new version—which will appear
in every issue—and documentation explaining its use.
OHOW tunny ways can the C-128 he

how can I tell ij my machine, is an early

—John T. Boord
Brimfield, il
Roy Lee, of Memory Management,
w Inc., a Commodore-authorized
repair center in Weflesley, Massachu
setts, told me only one upgrade to the
C-128 originated at Commodore. Thethree-chip ROM upgrade, available for
about $25 plus installation charges, cor
rected problems in the C-l L'8 operating
system. These hugs included round-off
errors in the internal math package, a
problem with negative-value relative
coordinates on Basic 7.0 bit-mapped
graphics commands, and the Q key,
which printed only a lowercase q in
Caps Lock mode.
Except for the Q-key problem, the
bugs would not be noticeable to the
nonprogrammer. So, if you press the Q
key in Caps Lock mode that results in
d lowercase q on the screen, then you
probably own an early model of the
C-128. Here's a one-line program that
will fix the problem. Just enter it andrun the program:

The popular 64K video display con
troller (VDC) RAM upgrade did not
originate at Commodore, although it is
built into Commodore's C-128D. The
VDC upgrade increases display mem
ory, enabling true multicolor graphics
on the 80-column screen. It may also
be used by RAM-disk utility programsdesigned to access this memory.
Third-party chips made for the 128's
empty ROM socket include Basic 8 and
128 SuperChtp, which—when installed
by a qualified technician—provide in
stant access to the programs they con
tain when the control key is depressed
at startup. ■

RUN's Checksum & Program Typing Hints
TYPE IN RUN'S CHECKSUM, which servw for both the t:-64 and
lor ilir C-12B ill either 40- or HO-Column mode, and lave il to diskbefore running it. When typing in a program from RUN. tirst load
and run RUN'S latest version of the Checksum program, whichContain! a new feature explained below. The screen will display ;t
SVS number (49152 for (he C-64; 3328 for ihe C-128) thai deactivates
and reactivates the Checksum. Always disable RUN's Checksum
before attempting to run another program. Note: You can abbreviate
Basic keywords; spaces aflcci the checksum only when within ([Holes;
and the order of characters affects the checksum.
When you press return after typing in a program line, a one-,
two-, or three-digit number from 0 to 255 appears in the home
position. If this number matches the checksum value in the program
listing, the line as you typed it is correct. If the number that appears
doesn't match the checksum value, compare the- line with the mag
azine listing to find your error. Then move the cursor hack up to
(he line and make your corrections. Now, after you press return,
the correct checksum value should appear. Continue entering the
listing until all the lines have been correctly typed. Then deactivate
HUN'S Checksum, using the appropriate SYS number, and save the
finished program,
We sometimes gel letters and phone (alls from new readers who
have typed in the Checksum program for the first time. They BTC
confused by the "Out of Data Error in Line 30" message that appears
when they try to run the Checksum program. Understandably, the)
compare line 30 of the listing with line 'M) as they typed it in, and
cannot find anything wrong. The message unintentionally misleads
them into thinking the error is in line SO. whereas ihe typing mistake
is actually somewhere in one oflhe Data Statement* in lines 190-350.
So, we've added a new feature lo the Checksum program that
alerts readers to the Dumber of the Data statement line in the
Checksum program where an error has actually been made. Note
that this feature works only on the Checksum program itself, and
not on an)" other program listing in RUN.
After you've entered and saved the Checksum program to disk,
run it. If you've made any errors in any ofthe Data statements, the
program will give you a specific line number. Find ihe mistake,
correct it, press return, save the program and run it again. Repeal
this procedure until the Checksum program runs flawlessly.
Control Characters Demystified
All the graphics and control characters in the listings in RUN
have been translated into understandable key Combinations, Theyare the instructions you see inside the curly braces. For example,
{SHIFT L} means you hold down the shift key while you press the
L key Once. You tin ml type in the curly braces. What appears on
the screen will look ipine dillerent from what is designated inside
the braces. Here are some more examples:
{22 SPACES}-press the space bar 22 times.
{SHIFT CLR} —hold down the shift key and press the clr-home
key once.
{2 CRSR DNs}—press the cursor-down key twice.
{CTRL 1}—hold down the control key and press the 1 key.
{COMD T}—hold down the Commodore logo key anil press the
T key.
{5 LH.s}—press the British pound key (£, mil I] live limes.
Refer to the following paragraphs for any other Error messages
you get from running any program listing in HUN.
Other Error Messages
Having heard from many users over the years about their diffi
culties with typing in listings, we've identified a few ret Hiring prob
lems that plague many people hut are easy to fix. So read on and
see if your problem is one of these,• You get an "Out of Data in Line xxx" message. This means thai
a program line was reading from Data statements and reached the
end of the data before it was done reading. There are two possible
problems.
One might be with the program line that reads the data, usually
a For-Next loop. Make sure you have the proper values for the loop,
because if. lijr example, the listing h.is .1 li»>p ofO to 150, and you've
typed 0 to lf>0, you'll get tile Out of Data message. If the loop is
correct, then the problem lies in the Data statements themselves.
One possibility is [hat you omitted a whole line of data. That's easy
enough to find and correct. It's more likely that you've skipped one
or more individual data items or typed hi a period instead of a
comma, which causes two data values to be read as one number.
Check your typing carefully against the listing. Using RUN'S Check
sum program when you type in listings from the magazine should
help in this case.
• You get an "Illegal Quantity Error in Line xxx" message. This
means you've read a number from a Data statement and tried to
poke il into a memory address. The error occurs because the number
is larger than 2:15 (the largest value a memory address can contain).
which means that somewhere in your Data Statements you've made
an error by typing in a number larger than 255. Again, this is easy
to check for and correct. First look in your Data statements for a
number larger than 255. You might have added an extra digit, or
perhaps you ran two numbers together (234SG instead of234,56).
• You get a "Syntax Error in Line xxx" message. This could lie almost
anything. What it tells you is that there is something wrung in the
Indicated line. Usually you've misspelled a Hasic keyword or omitted
some required character, list the line and examine it carefully.
• You get an "Error in Data" message. This occurs in programs that
add up all the data as read, and, when finished, compares that sum
with what it should be if the data were typed in correct])'. If it isn't
the same, il means an error somewhere in typing the Data statements.
Go back and check the data carefully. Correct the misuike(s). save
the new version and try again.
• Finally, we urge everyone who intends to type in oneofolir listings
10 use RUN'S Checksum program, which will help you avoid ever)'
mistake we've mentioned above, except that il won't detect the
omission of a line. (Bl
